Spanish in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires, the capital city, is easily one of the most cosmopolitan cities in South America and one of the largest. It dominates the cultural, economic and political life of Argentina and is a bustling and diverse city with impressive European style architecture, diverse barrios with distinctive identities such as as la Boca, and the bohemian district of San Telmo. Tango is an essential part of Argentine culture and dance schools and milonga evenings are plentiful.

We offer courses at two schools in Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires - Spanish and tango school

With sophisticated milongas to entice you into long nights of dancing and other excellent venues to practice what you have learned, you are sure to have the trip of a lifetime! Our Spanish and tango school is located in the Boedo district of Buenos Aires, well known for its connection to tango. It is close to many restaurants, bars, and cafes; it is very safe with limited noise and pollution.

My Spanish teachers were excellent in that they made the lessons fun yet very professional. I was sorry that I could not have stayed longer. [My homestay hosts] were very friendly & welcoming. Their property was very conveniently located for Buenos Aires city centre, language school & tango school. They were excellent hosts. [My tango instructors for group lessons] were very friendly & instructed well. [My tango instructor for private lessons] was excellent & I learnt a great deal. His assistant [my dance partner] was excellent also. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Many thanks for all the help & hard work.
